This is a very easy and quick recipe. There are additional variations to enhance your rice experience. To add some kick to it, add a can of mixed veggies and decrease the chicken stock from 4 cups to 3 3/4 cups. Or you can add a can of beans to it. If you add beans, do not decrease the chicken stock. You can also add meat, sausage, ham, or even shrimp. If adding meat, no need to decrease chicken stock. You can add more salt or seasonings to taste.

YELLOW RICE



Yellow Rice image

Yellow rice is a beloved dish among many cultural traditions. A staple side in Latin American kitchens, arroz amarillo appears in various iterations across the region. The appeal of yellow rice extends to Central and South Asia, and South Africa, and its brilliant hue achieved with saffron, turmeric or achiote. This version uses widely available and economical ground turmeric, and is a canvas upon which you can incorporate other ingredients and spices. Consider adding a bell pepper to the onion and garlic, or stir in a cup of frozen peas at the very end. The amount of cooking liquid you use depends on the type and quality of your rice, and be mindful to cut down on salt if you use a salted broth. Typically served as a side dish, the dish can also be served on its own.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups white basmati rice (or jasmine rice)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 cups water, chicken broth or vegetable broth for basmati rice (or 2 2/3 cups, if using jasmine rice)
Handful of cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a fine-mesh sieve, rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then set aside to drain.
  • In a medium saucepan or pot, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Take care not to burn the garlic by reducing the heat slightly if necessary.
  • Add the rice and sprinkle it with the salt and turmeric. Stir to combine, then cook the rice and spices in the oil for about 1 minute. Add the water, bring to a lively boil over high heat and then immediately cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the water has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and allow the rice to continue steaming, covered, for another 10 minutes.
  • Gently fluff with a fork or a slotted spatula, taking care not to break too many grains. Garnish with the cilantro, if using, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: For the best results, use a medium or long-grain rice that is specifically designed for cooking in a rice cooker. Some good options include Basmati, Jasmine, or Texmati rice.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse the rice under cold water for at least 30 seconds. This will remove any starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • Use the correct water-to-rice ratio: The amount of water you use will depend on the type of rice you are cooking. As a general rule, use 1 cup of water for every 1 cup of rice.
  • Add flavorings: To add flavor to your yellow rice, you can add a variety of ingredients, such as saffron, turmeric, cumin, or garlic powder.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: After the rice has finished cooking, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the rice absorb all of the flavors.

Conclusion:

Yellow rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make in a rice cooker, and with a few simple tips, you can achieve perfect results every time.
